    Don't mow the grass when it is still wet from rain or morning dew...Then you won't have issues with grass sticking to the deck.

    Get a lawn service to mow it for you. That solves the problem and makes the wife happy. Suddenly, you're the hero.

    I was going to suggest that stuff...but it means that the underside of the deck has to be scrupulously cleaned...and I don't think you are going to do that. It might be cheaper/easier to throw out the deck and get a new one. It's tough stuff to get off - even a 4000 psi pressure washer has trouble getting off the oldest stuff.

    You can always get a goat or two...

    My mower has a hook up on the side for a hose. I've never used it, but supposedly you connect a hose, run the mower, and it cleans itself.

    I have a John Deere 757 with a "7 iron deck" that doesn't accumulate gunk regardless of the condition of the lawn when I mow it. The pro line of John Deere mowing stuff is really top notch.
